One hour and a half has passed since they fought, and Valor was starting to feel tired from the nonstop fighting. Plus, because he had to use mana to protect his body, that means his mana will soon run out as well.
Meanwhile, like usual, Sol was still looking fine and full of energy. Naturally, it’s all thanks to his unlimited stamina and impenetrable defense which gives him massive advantage as the fight goes on longer.
“Y-You! How the hell are you still standing?!” said Valor while trying to catch his breath.
Every time when Sol attacked Valor, the energy and power he put in was always at 100 percent. Because he never gets tired, so there’s no need for him to save energy as he could pretty much go all out 24/7. On the other hand, Valor was getting weaker and weaker as time passed, to the point he almost wanted to just rest and fall asleep.
‘His defensive stats should be low since he’s not wearing any armor, but yet his defense seems very strong? Hmm, what’s going on? Am I missing something?’ Sol wondered.
Obviously, Sol had no idea that Valor was using his mana to increase his defense.
‘Whatever, he looks exhausted, so it’s just a matter of time before I’ll win this fight.’
Sol thought to himself.
45 minutes later…
“I give up! You win! I can’t take this anymore!”
Valor was done, he had enough. His entire body was aching and he could no longer continue fighting.
“Alright, my turn next. Move aside, Valor, he’s mine now.” [Mangus]
With that, the second match started, and it was Mangus vs Sol.
“Start!” said Pluton the referee.
“Wait!” Sol said, “I don't have time to fight you guys one at a time, so how about all you come at me at once?”
‘These demons are playing with me, do they not realize I’m here to raid their fortress and kill them all?’
Sol thought to himself.
Unfortunately, it’s hard for the demons to take Sol seriously because in their eyes, even though Sol defeated Valor, but at the end of the day, a tank is just a tank. There's nothing scary about tanks since they do not do enough damage to be a threat.
After all, Tanks are very similar to the Healer/Cleric class, they need to be in a group to be useful since they usually relied on other DPS classes to deal damage for them. In this case, Sol was alone and didn’t have any DPS players to rely on.
Sure, given enough time, Sol could kill them all, but in the worst case scenario, they could always run away and there’s nothing Sol could do about it since he’s too slow to catch up to them. However, the good news is that it’s highly unlikely they would run away due to their prideful nature, not all, but most of them are.
Out of nowhere, everyone started laughing.
“Hahahaha! A mere tank wants to challenge us all? Is he crazy?”
“What a joke! Sure our master, Valor, may have lost to him, but that’s because master Valor was giving him handicaps by not wearing armor.”
“True. He wouldn't have won the fight if master Valor didn’t give him handicaps. Too bad, master Valor is too kind. If it’s me, I would’ve killed that stupid human trash a long time ago.”
Naturally, it doesn’t matter if Valor had armor on or not because Sol was still going to win regardless, except it’s just going to take a bit longer.
“Blah! Blah! Blah! All of you shut up and fight me already!” Sol was annoyed by the demons mocking him, “Whatever! If you guys are not coming at me, then I will make my move first! Now all of you die! Hahaha!”

With that said, Sol charged toward the fortress and just like that, the war began. Since Sol was alone, therefore it was a one man army vs the entire demon army.
***
Not far away from where Sol was, under the fortress, there was an underground prison where all the human slaves were imprisoned.
The slaves were all chained up to the wall and could only move a few steps within their cell room. Normally, at this time, the demons would abuse them and get them to start working. But since the demons are fighting outside right now, therefore the underground prison was pretty quiet.
“Weird, how come the demons are not here yet?” One of the human slaves said.
“Shh! Everyone shut up for a moment.”
“Huh? What?”
“Listen carefully! There seems to be something going on outside.”
Everyone immediately remained quiet and began listening carefully.
A few seconds later, “You’re right! It's pretty noisy outside, I wonder what’s going on?”
“Listen again, don’t you think it sounds like there’s a war going on outside?”
“War?!”
“Wait, don’t tell me they are here finally to save us?”
Everyone thought the people from the Xenon Continent were here to save them, which they guessed wrong.
“Woohoo! Finally, the time has come!”
“Yay! I can’t wait to get out of this stupid place!”
“Hooray! Hurry up and get us out of this hell already!”
“You guys, don’t get your hopes high up yet. It’s only a guess, we still don’t know what’s going on outside yet.”
“Oh, come on! Why are you so negative? Can't you be positive for once, jeez!”
“Like I said, we still don’t really know what’s happening outside, it’s only speculation.”
“Yeah, yeah! Whatever you say, man.”
Everyone was fed up with this particular guy being so negative all the time.

Long time ago, after the demons successfully conquered the Eon Continent, the war was paused temporarily as the demons celebrated their victory in taking over the Eon Continent. It’s unknown when the next war will start, but it’s just a matter of time before the demons will begin their next invasion again, and obviously, the Xenon Continent will be their next target.
However, looking at how Sol was about to cause havoc in the Eon Continent, it’s highly likely the war is going to be delayed a little bit longer, maybe.
One week later…
At this moment, Sol has killed roughly about 3,500 demon soldiers, and for the first time, the demons finally acknowledged Sol as a threat despite being a tank.
“Hehe! Don’t even think about resting or sleeping, because I’m going to attack y’all 24/7 without stopping. Good luck! I hope you guys can keep up with my stamina.” [Sol]
“This fucking monster…!”
“It's been a week… Does this guy ever sleep, eat or drink? Or even take a short break?”
“Seriously, is he even human at this point? Like how is he not dying of starvation, or dehydration or whatever?”
“I don’t know man, but he’s definitely a monster for sure.”
“Fuck! If this keeps up, we all might really die from sleep deprivation.”
“Dammit! There’s simply no way to kill this motherfucker! And it seems this monster has unlimited energy for some reason.”
Forget about the demon soldiers, even the demon leaders were having trouble keeping up with Sol, except for Ingrid, she still didn’t participate and preferred to enjoy spectating instead.
For seven days straight, they couldn’t have a good sleep or rest because they had to deal with Sol's nonstop day and night attacks. The only time they could rest a bit was by rotating; meaning while the other demon soldiers were fighting in the front line, the back line would use this time to rest a bit.
Each day, the demon population in this fortress was decreasing massively due to Sol nonstop killing them left and right. And it won’t be long before there will be nothing left.
Another week passed…
At this point, there are roughly about 75 demon soldiers left, and among the 7 demon leaders, 4 of them have died already. The three demon leaders that are still alive were Darius, Ingrid and Valor.
The reason Sol didn’t kill Valor yet, was because he was grateful for the Gold-Rank sword that Valor gave him. Due to that, that’s why he decided to spare Valor’s life. And thanks to that, Valor was the only demon allowed to sleep peacefully without getting killed by Sol.
Meanwhile, not far away from the battlefield, Ingrid was shaking her head in great disappointment.
“What a bunch of morons! Dying because of pride, what a waste truly…” [Ingrid]
The demon leaders could have escaped, but they chose to die honorably due to their pride. The only one who didn’t care about pride was Ingrid, because she’s the type that would do anything to survive, even if she has to betray her own kind.
“From the look of it, it seems like we have a winner already. Oh well, it’s time to leave and report this matter to the higher ups I guess.” [Ingrid]
Knowing that Sol was going to eventually win in the end, there was no point spectating anymore, and with that, Ingrid and her assassins left the Crimson Fortress.
For now, Ingrid gave up on killing Sol because she knew at this moment, she’s not strong enough to challenge or kill Sol yet.
